Why Clippers Suck

http://deadspin.com/5398936/donald-sterling-continues-to-get-away-with-being-the-most-evil-man-in-sports

Couple of random examples:
"During his first season as owner, according to Sports Illustrated, Sterling reportedly wanted to save money by jettisoning the team trainer. He asked coach Paul Silas if he would mind taping up players before games."
And
"As reported here, Sterling's scorekeepers in the late 1990s routinely and dramatically undercounted the Clippers' assist totals. Deliberate or not, the effect was to depress the value of the team's own players."

NBA nicknames

My favorite: "Bad Porn" – Corey Magette, "sure, there's penetration and scoring, but are you really happy with what you are seeing?"
